Answer:

The other side length = 12 units

Explanations:

Area of a rectangle = Length x Width

Area of the rectangle = 24 unit²

A side length was given as 2 units

Since the side length given is less than half of the area, it is considered as the width of the rectangle

Width = 2 units

Area = Length x Width

24 = Length x 2

24/2 = Length

Length = 12 units
